Macropsis scotti
Length 5mm. This genus is distinguished by the diagonal striations on the pronotum running from the corners to the centre of the front margin.This species has dark brown wing veins and a dark inner margin to the clavus. The facial markings are sparse with the central mark (if present at all) being made up of two close lines rather than a large spot. However the individual species can be difficult to separate and detailed examination is often necessary. For this reason images placed in a red box are likely to be this species but can only be taken as representative of the species.
Can only be identified by examination of internal genital structure.
On brambles.
Adult: May to October
Feeds on brambles.
Fairly common as far north as Yorkshire.
Believed to be fairly common
